Subject: [9fans] Ethernet card detection
Topicbox-Message-UUID: 8aa3952a-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025


Hello,

I recently installed Plan 9 Release 4 successfully, but my ethernet card =
was
not auto-detected.
It is a Linksys EtherPCI Lan Card II with a Winbond 89C940 chip on it
(supposedly an ne2000 clone).

I tried adding...
ether0=3Dtype=3Dne2000
...to my plan9.ini, but still no /dev/ether0.  Any ideas on what to try
next?

I guess I could have looked at the detailed device parameters under
Windows98, before I blew it away :)

An aside - I've been wanting to play with Plan 9 ever since I read the
whitepapers about a year ago.  I must say, I'm having a blast playing =
with
it so far.

Thanks,
Frank
